**Hey @sarahboyce,**

I wanted to clarify a couple of things regarding the custom linters:

1. **Custom linter for coding style** – As Django already uses Flake8, which enforces line length rules. Are you referring to additional checks beyond this, such as enforcing Django-specific import ordering, docstring formats, or other style conventions that are currently manually enforced?
2. **Custom linter for wrapping documentation** – Do you mean ensuring `.rst` files follow specific line length limits and proper formatting (like headings, admonitions, etc.)? Would using `rstcheck` or `doc8` in CI be a good approach here, or do you have something else in mind?

Just want to ensure I align with what would be most beneficial for the project! Thanks.
